> Are you saying that if staying on ssri's long enough the side effects become less.
Yes, usually. You start at a minimal dose and don't raise it until you feel comfortable on the little dose. This takes forever, of course. The sexual dysfunction, unfortunately, isn't something that goes away.
This doesn't apply to everyone. The side effects you mention sound pretty typical for the drugs that caused them, except for the sex problem on Serzone and Remeron. Stimulants are supposed to be good for anorgasmia, BTW. Buspar might be too. People who have experience can give better advise than I could.
Middle age is hard for men...you start losing your sex drive (desire and functioning) and at the same time your partner starts becoming more interested.
